Early one morning he gets out of his bed feeling rather grumpy.
The day before he watched his beloved team being beaten by some Owls.
He goes for a walk into a nearby field where he shouts at some cows.
He then goes over to another field and shouts really loudly at some pigs.
He is in such a bad mood he runs over to the hens. The hens scatter.
When he returns to the farmhouse kitchen his mother is waiting for him.
His mother informs the young lad that she has witnessed his poor behaviour especially with the pigs.
His mother tells the lad,
'Because you shouted at the cows you cannot have any hot milk at bedtime. Because you shouted at the pigs and scared the hens you cannot have any eggs and bacon for breakfast.'
At that moment the farmer walks into the kitchen. The farmer is in a foul mood as he too had witnessed his beloved football team being beaten by those pesky Owls. The farmer then pushes the family cat off the kitchen table.
The farmer's wife is visibly annoyed.
The young lad looks at his mother and says, 'Shall I tell dad or will you?'
